My dad bought an old desk that used to belong to an old jeweler. This was in one of those the drawers.

No ID marks

I appreciate the help.

The cross and crown iconography is associated with the Knights Templar, and there may or may not be a brand called “Centrum” (not the vitamins) that uses it, but that’s all I’ve found so far.

Dunno, but that symbol represents the Knight Templar level of Freemasons.

So it’s an Illuminati brand pocket watch.

This is what we'll show whenever you publish anything on Kinja: > EL_ULY

Knights Templar

Well, appears to be a Knights Templar symbol on it anyway.

...according to Google.

The Cross and Crown suggest it’s a Masonic Knights Templar pocket watch. The manufacturer would probably be engraved inside the watch.

The jeweler probably made it themselves. Pop the casing open to see if there are any marking on the inside.

Also may be particularly associated with the York Rite.

Let us know if shady looking guys in dark suits or a older gent with wild hair starts asking around for it. One of them will lead to adventure, the other will probably shoot you.

Unscrew the case to see if there are any marks on the back if there are any marks on the movement etc.

Well, the jeweler was a Mason....or perhaps he hunted maleficar in Thedas.

You’ll have to open it up and look at the movement to know who made it. There are lots of great watchmakers in Val Royeaux

Neat find, does it work? I don’t know much about old timepieces, but my dad inherited one a while ago. Its original crystal is missing and in its place is a strangely fogged-up piece of glass, which means it’s probably not that valuable even if it was a desirable pocket watch. When he got it, it came with a note talking about all the different theories as to how my great grandpa got it and why the glass is fogged up, including one where a stranger brought him the watch and asked him to make a new crystal for it (he was an inventor/tinkerer, so this isn’t out of the realm of possibili ty ), and he did so using part of a glass bottle. But he used the wrong cleaning solution for it, and fogged up the glass. When the stranger came back to see it, he was enraged by the foggy crystal and cursed my great grandpa with a speech impediment, which is why he spoke with a lisp later in life! But t he stranger left the pocket watch behind, and now it belongs to my dad. Don’t know if that story is true or not, but it’s certainly interesting :p
